Northamptonshire’s five-year NHS ‘vision’ was ‘drawn up by stealth’, claims campaign group

Northamptonshire’s five-year NHS ‘vision’ was ‘drawn up by stealth’, claims campaign group Plans to shake up the NHS in Northamptonshire and cut funding by £328 per person were put in place “by stealth” according to a national campaign group - and could face a legal challenge.

The National Health Action Party - which claims it is fighting to save the NHS from being turned into a US-style health service - believes the Sustainability Transformation Plan (STP) proposals appear to run contrary to the provisions of the Health and Social Care Act. It says the STPs are contrary to the stated objective of the Act, a locally driven commissioning service provided by GPs who have an intimate knowledge of their local community needs.
